There are several tournaments that are known as
Bounty tournaments. These carry the same rules as other tournament with a special twist. In online games, it is often the
case that every player has a
bounty on their head and when you knock a player out, you get their chips as
well as the
bounty. In live games the
bounty is restricted to one per table so that it is less troublesome. Additionally, a
bounty could be placed on one particular player's head in a tournament when that player has some special significance.
The
bounty itself is a usually small cash amount that is immediately added to your
bankroll, (or delivered to you in a live game) as soon as you knock a player with a
bounty out. They are not dependent on where you finish in a tournament, and your
bounty (if you have one) does not increase upon acquiring someone else's
bounty.
Example: I just entered a $5 bounty tournament where I get $2.5 for every player I knock out!
